Pho Pasteur - Catonsville

Ok. I’m dropping another gem on my DMV ppl. This is a true taste of Vietnam. The flavors, freshness and authenticity remains unmatched and I know what I’m talking about. Must haves are the Banh Mi, pho mien bun ga ya, smoothies and of course last but not least the PHO. Is unforgettable!!!!! It’s authentic Vietnamese pho. Not instant soup base. This is the right choice. Order now you thank me later. 6 sandwiches and broth. Happy lunch for me.

Update 12/13/22: I still like this place but they've basically doubled their prices. Will be exploring my options. Original Review 2018: I love this place! The Pho comes out so fast and is so delicious. My personal favorite is the #2 eye round WITH shrimp. It's an up charge for the shrimp but so worth it. (The add vegetables option is good too.

Asked for rare steak and brisket. Don't know what I actually got. Definitely no rare steak. Got something spongy instead. Also they were not traditional noodles. There were some kind of fat Campbell's chicken noodle soup kind of noodles. And no Sriracha. I was totally bummed.

My husband and I come here for lunch almost every Friday afternoon. I always get one of the noodle dishes with the egg rolls in it and either grilled chicken or grilled shrimp (they're ALL amazing, btw) and my husband gets a big bowl of pho with brisket. The Thai tea, lemonade and jasmine tea are so delicious. I seriously don't know what is in the lemonade but it is the best I've ever tasted.

My regular Pho place was closed today, so decided to give this place a try and glad I did. Pho Ga was really tasty, the broth was super delicious and just enough spice heat that you didn't need to add any condiments. Also tried their cold cut Banh Mi, which was quite good. The roll was fresh and the filling was plentiful. As I waited for my to-go order (less than 10 minutes) I watched dine-in orders come out really quickly. I will be back to this place.
